Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts addressed a packed Dodger Stadium Monday morning after the team’s parade through the streets of L.A. to celebrate their back-to-back World Series crowns.
Roberts, now a four-time World Series champion, including three as a manager and a fourth as a player for the Boston Red Sox, was his trademark loquacious and gregarious self, hyping up the crowd of fans, while taking time to highlight the tremendous team assembled behind him.
Here’s what Dave Roberts said:
“I can’t talk about ruining anything today, guys, I’m finally disappointed, but we talked last year about running it back.
And before I get to that, a word stuck out really to me after we won game seven, the word ‘mirror.’
And the reason I bring this word up is because every time we take the field, our players look in the mirror, and what we see is you guys, we see toughness, we see passion, we see perseverance, too.
And I’ll tell you right now, this group of guys right now, they were never going to be denied to bring this city another championship. Every single day, when you guys look in the mirror as you guys unpack this season, you look back at each one of these guys and see what they sacrificed for each other, and most importantly for you guys.
Now, I talked to a good friend yesterday on the plane, and he gave me the okay to use his phrase: Pat Riley. ‘What’s better than two? Three!’”
The Dodgers celebrated back-to-back World Series championships on Monday, after a nail-biting 7-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dodgers are the first team to repeat as World Series champions in 25 years, after the New York Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000.
The Dodgers will attempt to match that streak in 2026.
